How many times did they call us North Texas St... I heard it two times.

It was more than that, especially in the first half but then it seemed to stop. It seems most people still remember us as North Texas State.

Sloppy. It is usually older announcers that use it (50+); they grew up with us being called that. Plus, with other misquotes it seems we didn't exactly get ESPN's "A" team. <_<

That may be an understatement. I would guess the number of NTSU references were in the same vicinity as the statement "I played quarterback."

When I listened to the local radio in Muncie, they called us nothing but North Texas State. Although it makes them sound uninformed, if it's not intentional, I don't have a big problem with it. "North Texas Teachers' College" might be a different story.

I don't have a clue...but I do have it recorded so I'll replay it. I turned the sound off and listened to George and Hank on the radio. It's much better for the nerves.

Most of us through the years have made such a deal over our "NOT" being called NorTxSt that I'm sure it just had to be someone from SMU that called the BSU sports information folks and told them to SPREAD THE WORD about "NTSU" ! :rolleyes: PS: Of course...I merely jest.

I don't think they meant disrespect, but maybe they were in shock at the significant a**kicking Balls Tate got from the MG. GREAT GAME!!!
